The lawsuit against George Lucas’ museum in Chicago is moving forward
It looks like the evil members of Chicago’s Friends Of The Parks organization have won a significant victory over the heroic forces of George Lucas and his proposed Museum Of Narrative Art, as the Associated Press is reporting that a federal judge has allowed a lawsuit to move forward that would stop Lucas from building on the city’s lakefront. Lucas’ museum has been in the works since June of 2014, when he chose to built it in Chicago after San Francisco refused to give him the location he wanted. Chicago is a city of people-pleasers—assuming you like the right baseball team—so it quickly offered him a spot off of Lake Michigan near Soldier Field and the Shedd Aquarium. The spot is currently taken up by a whole lot of nothing, but the Friends Of The Parks filed a lawsuit in November of that year arguing that the museum would “emasculate” and “degrade” the lakefront.
